Our Tuesday November 8th, 2016 Chapter Dinner Meeting:
Topic: The Benefit of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and Heat Treating on Titanium Additive Manufactured (AM) Components
Abstract: As fabricated, AM parts do not exhibit material properties that are suited for critical aerospace, medical, energy and automotive applications. Hot Isostatic Pressing and heat treatment improve ductility and fatigue strength of metal AM components such that they can be used in these critical applications. Processing steps, static properties and dynamic fatigue properties will be presented for titanium manufactured by Electron Beam (EB) AM techniques and Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) techniques.
Speaker: Ron Adams
Bio: Ron Adams holds a BS in Metallurgy from Lehigh University. Ron has spent his career in aerospace and medical metallurgical processing in manufacturing engineering, production management, and business development roles. Ron is the Director of Additive Manufacturing Business Development for Bodycote.
